Putting her in prison is never going to change what she did.I feel that she was just a scared and confused 15 yr. old. I am not sure how her mother did'nt notice her pregnancy that is exactly why parents need to talk to their kids about everything.... I think one thing people need to remember is thta Jessica was 15 and she should'nt be treated as though she was an adult at the time.I feel that children(teenagers)are treated to much like adults by parents and when they get into trouble they feel as though they should be able to deal with their own problems.

At Fifteen, I know all of us were subject to make some of the same choices she did, given the exact same set of circumstances. She should be made to serve the time, but I pray she will live up to the calling that I think God has on her life. In looking at her, I thought that she had a real deep seated strength in her. She seems really bright and intelligent, although her actions would belie that. However, I believe a very interesting life lies ahead of her. May God bless her.

Although what Jessica coleman did was wrong you still have to look at it from her point of veiw and the things she had to go through maybe she had a reason for what she did but you still have to realize there is more to her than just killing her baby.

But after watching The Oprah Winfrey Show today, I might have different thoughts. Jessica couldn't stand 2 min. without breaking out into tears and we can all agree that she is sorry for what she did. I do agree that God will forgive and I would like for everyone to know that. Jessica did commit a serious crime and deserves the years in prison, but she will be forgiven, and she has to move on. What Jessica did was wrong, we can all agree on that.

We do not have the right to judge this young lady, her actions are difficult for anyone to understand but we do not know her state of mind at the time. Obviously she had issues, her bulimia and anexoria along with the need to be seen as special all spoke of her thinking and contributed to her actions. Having a parent who related to her as a friend rather than a responsible parent may have caused her to not to trust that her mother would still consider her a friend and continue to love her. There is never only one person at fault when an action such as this occurs. The boyfriend's insistence that the pregnancy not be discovered along with the fear that he would no longer love her also added to her actions. Teenagers prize acceptance more highly than anything in their lives. All of this is not to make excuses for Jessica but to shed some light on her state of mind at the time of the ocurance. This young lady will have to live with what she has done for the rest of her days, I believe this will be punishment enough. As for her right to have other children thank God we have not reached the point where we have the right to take that away from anyone. Having a child in this case would probably cause Jessica more pain and remind her many times each day of the action she took.

Where was the mother for 9 months that did not notice any change on her daughter?.... But, why is she treated as a criminal while politicians made legal "partial birth abortion"? What about those mothers that kill, sorry "abort" their unborn babies during the 7th, 8th or 9th month of pregnancy? Isn't the same thing? For me and I am sure for God it is the same thing. I truly believe that there is a God, and if Jessica is really sorry for what she did, God will forgive her.
